It was a gruesome crime that shattered the peace of a Long Island community at the weekend.
A young woman named Meghan Kiefer was discovered on Saturday on the front lawn of her own home with fatal stab wounds.
Now, police say they have arrested the woman’s boyfriend, Kason Parker as the prime suspect in the slaying.
Suffolk County Police said that they arrested Parker, 33, on Sunday, according to local media reports.
He has now been charged with second degree murder and was set to be arraigned on Monday.
Authorities have not said yet what may have led to Parker stabbing his 27-year-old girlfriend.
She was remembered on Sunday by colleagues as a loving, caring, and valuable person on the team at JDC’s Tailgaters Sports Bar in Holbrook, according to a Facebook post.
We are sad-hearted to say Meghan Kiefer passed away,” the post read. “She will always be loved, and a part of our hearts, and be one of the team.”

Once the bar’s management learns her funeral arrangements, they will share them, according to the post.
It went on to thank patrons for their support “in this time of need on behalf of the Tailgaters family.”
“Rest easy, beautiful girl,” the post concluded.
